Reports say that VR on Xbox will not be at E3

Microsoft will not be showing any VR capability with Xbox or Project Scorpio at E3 according to reports.

Polygon have posted a quote from Microsoft technical fellow Alex Kipman saying: “Our primary focus is making our mixed reality experiences a success on Windows 10 PCs. We believe that right now a Windows PC is the best platform for mixed reality as its open ecosystem and enormous installed base offer the best opportunity for developers, and Windows offers the most choices for consumers."

Kipman also said that Microsoft's belief is "that console VR should be wireless, right now we are focused on developing mixed reality experiences for the PC, not on the console." This could suggest that until the next generation of VR comes along that sheds its cable requirements, Xbox and VR won't be available for a while yet.

The biggest news out of this year’s E3 was almost certainly Microsoft’s reveal that it has been working on an improved Xbox One, which it claims will be the ‘most powerful console ever made’. But is better hardware actually a draw for devs? We ask a crowd of triple-A and indie studios for their thoughts
